I know you're approaching this from the perspective of handling those who don't use js... but I'm leaning toward assuming js, and letting the rest go.
I don't think it's too much to ask of people who want to use sites that use js to allow it to be used in their browsers. I know there are issues for users behind corporate firewalls, etc., but I think it's perhaps time for the development community to start developing with js and demanding that IT personnel learn to set up secure environments and protect their systems and network. I've never had js disabled on any system or network I've ever owned or managed and I've never had a single problem with it. The "Web 2.0" functionality is going to force the issue. With Google and other basically "thumbing their nose" at those who won't use js with apps like Gmail (at least that's what I understand), people are going to have to embrace js and other more risky technologies and learn to deal with them securely or be left behind.

You can't do both at once. Client and server each need an independent approach. The server must behave as if it is not at all dependent on what the client sends it. Thus you need to have CF code to handle validation on the server, and javascript to handle validation on the client (if desired). Even if you are doing ajax validations, you are still hitting the server, and your independent CF code must handle that server call. Also, if you are depending on an ajax call to validate, your non-javascripters will not make the ajax call and so not validate. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
